Madison man vies for heart of 'Bachelorette' starts tonight

Are you a
Bachelorette addict? Well, the first step on the road to recovery is admitting
you have a problem — and bookmarking. Emily “Tragic Single Mom” Maynard
kicks off her husband-seeking “journey” tonight, and we here at Rose Lovers
Central have so much coverage planned, it’s almost embarrassing. Here’s a quick rundown of everything you can expect:

“I’ve got more than
a theory. You know why?” opines his boss, Advertising Director Roland Weeks.

“I’ve been online.
I’ve read the blogs. If I had to guess, I’d say he’s top 5,” Weeks said of
Pope, who is among a pack of 25 suitors vying for bachelorette and North Carolina resident
Emily Maynard’s love.

Watch The
Bachelorette with author Jennifer Weiner — every week! Yes, the best-selling
novelist (In Her Shoes, Little Earthquakes, Then Came You) and confessed
Bachelor/Bachelorette junkie will be joining EW readers in the ViEWer room to
live blog Emily’s “journey” all season. Log on tonight at 9:30 p.m. (EST) right
here as Weiner leads a wine-fueled discussion about Emily, her suitors, and all
of the rose-seeking shenanigans.

Said ad rep Glenda
Gilmer: “He’s like a little brother. It’s like you want to keep him out of
trouble.”

Chris Harrison’s
back as EW.com’s exclusive Bachelorette blogger! Everyone’s favorite reality TV
host (at least, everyone I know) and blogger extraordinaire will be back to
share his behind-the-scenes insights and wry personal take on every episode.
Got burning Bachelorette questions? Ask them in the comments — he’ll answer
them in his blog and in
Entertainment Weekly.

Pope, a 30-year-old
Madison resident employed almost three years as an ad rep at the newspaper,
will have the attention of thousands of metro-area residents tonight when The
Bachelorette premiers at 8:30 p.m. on ABC.
